The Queen taught to give Nazi salutes by her parents

[Thunder Bolt]

No he wasn't.

He did admire Hitler in the 30s.
If the Queen was 6 at the time of that film, then her grandfather George V was still king as she was born in 1926. He died in 37.

She was six. When I was six my uncle took a picture of me in a West ham shirt.

The Quen was just a child however the cuddly queen mum was not

 

[Eeyore]

No, I think the point is that the Queen is obviously a Brighton fan. I'm sure I saw her at Millwall.

Although, as regards garnering respect for the title of 'Queen', if she came to Brighton she'd be a much smaller fish in a bigger pond.

Not many Nazis around, mind.

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Well primary schools were full of Nazis then.

Looks just like the same thing every school kid did when they put their hand up to answer a question.

Ridiculous thread. It was her Uncle not her Father and he went to Germany and met with Hitler, sympathiser or not he had an 'unhealthy' fascination.

I'd be more interested to know how The Sun obtained the pictures.

Hacked the phone at Buckingham Palace?

LoL - can't access the smiley's anymore......... Very good.

 

[wellquickwoody]

He went to school in Germany at first but left there because of the Nazis I think.

Think he got thrown out for being too right wing......

Lovely top tip over on twitter:

The Queen. Say it was banter.

Hilarious.

 

[El Presidente]

I think Rupert's hopes of a knighthood have receded.

 

[glasfryn]

Just watched a Sky News presenter lecturing The Sun's chief editor(creep) about their conduct in relation to running this story. Bizarre.

[Eeyore]

The Palace has apologised and issued a new picture for The Sun editorial team..

 

[alfredmizen]

I find photos like this of far more concern.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Regardless of whether she did or didn't, she looks about six years old and couldn't possibly understand the symbolism or ramifications of her actions.

If I saw any six year old child making a nazi salute I wouldn't judge the child but I would judge the parents.

That would make the Argus though.

 

[Hastings gull]

Wouldn't happen in Germany

You use of the word "taught" implies some degree of approval. It may simply be that in the 30s, this would have been seen on newsreels and the parents were showing her what it was. It is quite unlikely that the royal family was full of Nazi sympathisers.

The Queen played pro-football to International standard?

She'll be on the football transfers thread shortly
